ACRL is seeking an individual to create a comprehensive and detailed external communications plan to promote the extensively revised Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education, which we anticipate will be adopted next summer.

We expect the selected visiting program officer will work on this project no more than 5 hours per week, on average, from September 1, 2013-June 30, 2014. The project will focus on developing a plan for communication outside the library profession, outreach to higher education associations and accreditors, and awareness/education opportunities for non-librarians.
